“BECKETT TIME”, —

— an international festival of the Irish writer’s work, kicks off in Scotland this week. But unlike other tributes, this one won’t rely on “Godot” and other Beckett staples. “I wouldn’t want the festival to be predictable. With a Brazilian puppet group redefining three of his short plays, Beckett texts projected on to well-known Glasgow buildings, a season of his films at the GFT, and a Beckett flotation tank inspired by his work for radio, it could hardly be called that.” – The Herald (Scotland)
